“Kaimake Loop” by Will Rutola

I've always lived on Kaimake Loop, a small neighborhood in Kailua. The same house, 15 years. A living room, three bedrooms, three baths, a kitchen, and a den. By no means is it modern nor is it outdated. It was constructed long before my sister and I were born, however, we renovated it. We made the house a home, we turned what was their into ours—thousands of memories bound within our four walls. We lived far from trouble, we lived far from school too. This led to long car rides with my sister listening to music- these are the days I remember. Days where my sister would take me to Bee & Tea, days where the beach looked nicer than homework for us. Now, our house is dull, filled with only three people now, my sister started her own life.
